My name is Nicole and teaching is my passion! I have been tutoring students of all ages for more than ten years and currently teach English, science, and math at Metropolitan State University of Denver as an Affiliate Faculty member. I taught high school in Maryland as a General Science/Nutrition Science teacher and now I plan to add an endorsement in Secondary Math Education in Colorado. Tutoring middle and high school algebra and geometry and preparing high school students for the ACT exam are my specialties; however, I have worked with students of all ages, including adults, in all general academic content areas. I have been an IB (International Baccalaureate) mentor teacher and helped high school students write and revise their portfolio essays and their college essays. I am currently pursuing a second degree in Math Education (my first degree is a BS in Nutrition Science) and, ultimately, plan to earn my PhD in Education. Thank you for reading my WyzAnt tutoring profile and I look forward to working with you - Yay MATH, SCIENCE, and ENGLISH!

I have references available upon request.

Algebra 1

I have tutored middle and high school students in Algebra for over ten years, and I love helping students become confident and successful math learners.

Algebra 2

I help students learn Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Intermediate Algebra, and College Algebra.

American History

I think I inherited my love of American History from my grandfather, Guy, who served in WWII and grew up during the Great Depression. He was passionate about learning everything about WWI, the American Civil War, and the American Revolutionary War (he was quite the war buff). I've developed a bit of a "history hobby" and relish every opportunity to learn more about this subject with my students. :)

Biology

I teach a night General Science (Physical Science, Biology, Chemistry, Physics) class at Metro State University and I hold a B.S. in Nutrition Science (a branch of Biology).

Vocabulary

Developing a strong vocabulary eases reading comprehension analysis. Typically, students who have not yet developed a strong vocabulary struggle with reading and reading comprehension. When tutoring my students, I always incorporate vocabulary building when teaching reading comprehension analysis.

Grammar

I teach an Advanced English course at Metro, and I have over 10 years of English/grammar tutoring experience.

Geometry

I have been tutoring students in Algebra and Geometry for 10+ years. I also teach a math course at Metropolitan State University of Denver and plan to earn my Master's Degree in Secondary Math Education.

Prealgebra

I have over ten years experience tutoring pre-algebra and algebra to elementary, middle, and high school students. I currently teach math at Metropolitan State University of Denver as an Adjunct Faculty member, and I love helping students become confident and successful math learners.

Reading

Many students struggle with reading comprehension concepts like analyzing the author's purpose, finding a main idea or central theme, or making reasonable conclusions based on paragraph/story evidence. I find that 1:1 tutoring allows these struggling students to freely vent their frustrations and ask questions they may never ask in class, for fear of publicizing their self-doubt and confusion to their teacher and classmates. When students feel comfortable with their tutor, they develop a sense... Read More

Writing

Teaching students the art of writing has been a passion of mine since I was in high school; my first job as a tutor was as a writing tutor when I was only 14 years old. I created a writing "club" to provide English and writing assistance to student athletes needing to maintain academic eligibility. In college, I continued tutoring student athletes and spent most of my time teaching writing and grammar to the football players. Since earning my B.S. in 1997, I've tutored hundreds of students in... Read More

English

I currently teach English at Metropolitan State University of Denver as an Adjunct Faculty member.

SAT Math

I have tutored SAT math for almost 10 years.

Literature

I enjoy watching students develop a love of reading and finding real-world lessons in literature. Watching students emotionally connect with popular literary characters makes me smile!

GED

I have 10+ years of GED tutoring experience.

SAT Reading

As a native Marylander, I am quite familiar with the SAT exam. I began helping students prepare for this exam in 2001 and have, personally, scored a perfect 800 in both the math and writing portions of the exam (my highest critical reading score is a 750, which is a 98 percentile rank). Most students struggle with the vocabulary questions found in the critical reading sections of the exam, so helping students build a stronger vocabulary is an integral part of my SAT teaching strategy. I use practice... Read More

SAT Writing

I not only help students prepare for the SAT Writing questions, I also help students perfect their SAT essays and college application essays.

Physical Science

I currently teach a night general science class (physical science) at Metropolitan State University of Denver. I have a B.S. Degree in Nutrition Science and have taught/tutored science for well over 10 years.

ASVAB

I've helped high school students study for the ASVAB and I currently teach veterans general math, science, English and reading comprehension at Metropolitan State University of Denver.

PSAT

I have almost 10 years of experience preparing students to take the PSAT.

SSAT

I've helped students study for all three SSAT exams- elementary, middle, and upper.

Spelling

Spelling can be tricky for many students, and if kids learn, apply, and practice spelling rules then they can master this skill.

ACT Reading

I tutor all 4 sections of the ACT exam: English, Math, Reading, and Science.

ACT English

I started tutoring high school students for the ACT English section roughly 4 years ago. My personal ACT English score range is 32-36. I currently teach English at Metropolitan State University of Denver as an Adjunct Faculty member.

ACT Math

Helping high school students prepare for the ACT math section is one of my specialties. My personal ACT math score range is 34-36, and I teach math at Metropolitan State University of Denver as an Adjunct Faculty member. I am an ACT math EXPERT.

ACT Science

I tutor all 4 sections of the ACT exam: English, Math, Reading, and Science.

Elementary Math

I have tutored math for over ten years, and I love helping students develop the confidence and the skills necessary to become successful math learners.

Elementary Science

I love teaching and inspiring students to develop a passion for all things science!

Study Skills

I have 10+ years of experience helping students learn how to study and how to develop effective study strategies. When I taught high school, I developed a study skills guide for students struggling with math and science; I used this guide to teach students how to use memory techniques to remember math and science equations and memorize complex biological systems typically taught in a Biology or Physical Science class. I also helped students outline historical events, famous historical figures,... Read More

ISEE

The Independent School Entrance Exam (ISEE) is a standards-based assessment that many private and independent schools use to determine enrollment via achievement ranking and academic skill evaluation. I have over 5 years experience preparing students to take this exam.

Praxis

I have taken and passed the Praxis 1 exam and scored in the top 10 percentile in all three tested subject areas (I received a perfect score on the Praxis 1 essay).

Nutrition

I hold a B.S. Degree in Nutrition Science and I have taught high school Nutrition Science, Applied Nutrition, and Nutrition Biochemistry.
